This interaction with Jesus and his mother is always interesting to me. I actually relate more with mom here (surprise, surprise) then with Jesus and I’m not sure I’m okay with that.

Here we have a typical illustration of a grown man and his mom.

Jesus knows what he’s doing. He has a plan, and he told his mother, “my hour had not yet come”. However, even though mom knows who her son is (the Son of God) ,she is still just being a mom (with all our flaws).

I think this is a good lesson for us mothers with sons; especially grown, or growing sons. As a mom of a grown man and a 12 year old boy, I can totally relate here. God calls us to trust the men in our lives but when they’re our boys that we raised, it’s so hard to do that isn’t it?! But they absolutely need that to grow. As mothers, in order to have a healthy relationship with them, they NEED to know that we trust them.

Mom, decide today that you will show your son that you trust his decisions.

Honestly, this isn’t just for our sons, our daughters need to know that we have confidence in them too. As mothers we DON’T have all the answers, and ,sorry mom, but we don’t always know what our brilliant kids are thinking. But we can trust in these 3 things:

1)God loves our kids more then we do, and is way better at parenting then us.
